Q: How did you get into watch collecting?

I collected cheap watches on and off but was mostly a one watch guy until my boss got everyone personalized divers with our company's logo on it. That gift got me back into watches.

Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?

Don't actually remember, but my earliest watch memories were of Casio and Timex Ironman and Expeditions.

Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?

A couple! And I publish these sorts of stories at http://www.itscasualtime.com. Come and read some stories and share yours!

Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?

Never buy a watch (or so many watches) that you'll have to pay for a divorce lawyer. They're more expensive than any watch you can afford.

Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?

Timex, Casio, Citizen, Seiko, Swatch

Q: What is your grail watch and why?

The Goldeneye Omega Seamaster is my grail, though I'm not beholden to the Quartz if/when the time comes. But Seamaster has always been it because of Goldeneye.
